The American Pop Music Hall of Fame Will Have a Great First Class

The site has a news item today that reports the American Pop Music Hall of Fame is seeking input from the public on which group or performer should be in the inaugural class. The story the item is based on has a link to the entire list of candidates.

I wanted to feature one of the acts on the site in addition to the news item. So I took a pen, closed my eyes and pointed to the screen. The Everly Brothers was the closest.

There already is the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland. I poked around the website for the new hall. The only stated reason for another Hall of Fame is to honor their local musicians (Perry Como and Bobby Vinton both hail from Canonsburg.) The city is in southwest Pennsylvania, so the two museums won’t be much more than 100 miles apart.

Today, everyone has their own channel. Somebody who is nuts for big band jazz can choose to listen to nothing but Woody Herman and Count Basie. Classic rock fans can avoid everything but Cream and Hendrix. Madrigals your thing? No problem…

That’s fine. To each his or her own. But there is a price: Listening to what we know we like keeps us from hearing what we know nothing about. In art, the unknown always is a great thing.
